26- The Middle Gate (of Jeremiah 39:3) |
||||||
“Middle Gate” of Jeremiah 39:3In the Citadel near the Jaffa Gate fragmentary fortifications were found which included a corner of a massive tower with remains at 8 meters. This seems to be part of a gate that belonged to the northern defense system of Hezekiah’s wall defending the western expansion. Jeremiah 39:3 calls this the “middle gate”: “Then all the officials of the king of Babylon came and sat in the middle gate: Nergal-sar-ezer, Sam-sekim the Rab-saris, Nergalsar-ezer the Rab-mag . . .” (Jeremiah 39:3) |
